Not without your help Art, from what I read.

To recap:

He starts with: can you please send to me the program in C++ please....

Then he asks for the program and it is explained to him that the project is in Picbasic, not C.

Then he says: 'Haha - he didn't see the attached file' etc.

Then he asks for a component list.

Then he aks for a program but without the games - he just wants a message scroller.

He then says he's already started this project - what he means by this is not explained.

He then asks again if it can be converted to C. It is not stated whether he feels that someone else should supply him with the C code, or whether he simply wants an assurance that it can be done.

After a few terse responses, quite justified in my opinion, he resorts to rudeness.

He then says; 'i ask that because if he can convert it,... not mean to do it because NOT TO DO IT IN MY OWN...your wrong for that...'

Which I take to mean can Art do it for him. Or at least he would like Art's help because he cannot do it on his own.

After finding a C compiler he discovers the Picbasic source code will not work in a C compiler and says: 'maybe the language is different.'

What a surprise.

He now resorts to wheedling and says he knows we are here to help him.

No. We are not here to help people program in C. We are here to help people program in PicBasic, hence the title of the forum.

There must be many sine scrollers out there, some programmed in C. Find a C forum, and ask there.

Don't go into a Mosque and ask if they have the Koran in Hebrew. Or a Synagogue and ask for the Torah in Arabic - it's inviting rude comments.
